Database Information

1
Currnetly use dreamweaver mx and access as our database, we are going to php/mysql. We have asked others about what database to go to from access and everyone tells us to go to mysql.com and download mysql. We are confused on what database to use with php because download just gives mysql servers not database. Can you give us some insight on this matter? Thanks

That the beauty of it! You get a server, logon to it and make your own databases, once you have installed it. And once you have defined database(s), you can assign tables to those databases.

Don't forget that with MySQL a database is not a physical entity, but a logical one that contains physical tables. Beside, MySQL is a real relational database and not a bunch of flat file/record like Access. So you can have real relational queries to manipulate them.

Go ahead and enjoy yourself using MySQL!
